I've realised that over time, a lot of my favourite films or ones that I enjoy and basically mainstream blockbusters.

I try to broaden my horizons but quite often, I find these amazing acclaimed films boring.

It's not quite the same but I was amazed when I got the Criterion edition of Armageddon. All these bonus features about a great blockbuster film.

So imagine my disappointment when every other release from Criterion is a film I'll probably never watch in the first place.

Example, I took a chance on Brazil because I was in a bit of a Terry Gilliam phase. I quite enjoyed that one. Then I tried Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That DVD never got a second play.
